G-shock Watch Fix - Unresponsive Buttons

[@Beenthere2xs]

You're the best! Great detailed clear instruction, my G Shock GW-6900A was a slightly different disassembly but your fix worked perfectly! Had been broken for quite some time. I also got a chance to give it a deep cleaning. Your video is still helping people today! Thanks.

[@pwhysall]

Excellent video. This fixed my not-available-any-more GW7900 - the one with the blaze orange details and nylon fabric strap. Thanks!

[@starmatrics]

thank you this fixed my watch, i decided to just replace my old gshock strap & replace the battery but was a bit in a panic when the buttons dont work

[@maaupa]

Dude, THANKS! That was the problem with G-Shock 2900 I've bought from the pawn. Greetings from Poland!

[@Hachdog]

Thank you very much for this video. My W-S220 is back for another round! (Not a G-Shock but very similar and problem was exactly the one you solved)

[@techbro2156]

Do u know the name of this watch used in video

[@davidh-grey6633]

I'm about to embark on replacing light button on gw 2310. I'm hoping the light button is easy to replace. That too was stuck in the on position but not so much that it prevents other functions from working just the dual tune function. Pulling the pin out prevents that. I think the spring that keeps the pin out has broken. Investigations to start soon

[@TicTonk]

Thank you very much you saved me a long trip

[@derekmcdonald2168]

This was my exact watch and the exact problem! Thank you so much!!! This watch has been going strong for 6years

[@zach008900]

That is awesome news! Thanks.

[@ckiv1992]

[@mikebertsch8747]

Wow, excellent video. Fixed my old g shock!

[@ThrillHill74]

Thank you very much...luckily I had an eyeglass repair kit handy and the screwdriver was a perfect fit for the watch screws.

[@CLIKCAAK]

thank you! Easy fix. Restored an old watch.

[@leocreo]

Thank you so much for the video. Be very careful prying that light pin out as it is very fragile.

[@maxpopovic8310]

Thank You so much it worked as a treat, so happy to have my watch back

[@MiguelLorenzo]

Thank you so much, I have same watch and same problem, totally working now, great video.

[@davesimpson796]

Cheers for that. My problem was the mode button and I just bent the tab out. Works like a charm.

[@danieljeggle1889]

Thanks for this, an easy fix that worked,

[@matttrahan3942]

I owe you a beer if you ever make it to Louisiana. Thank you! This fixed my favorite watch in no time! Great video!! Thank you again!!

[@zach008900]

Awesome to hear! glad it worked ;)

[@Rocket33r]

Worked for me. I couldn't find the sealing ring though. I hope I didn't lose it at some point. :/ I have a GR8900A-1,perhaps there was no ring, or it is somehow integrated into the case, or just stuck or something.

[@TheLosttransmission]

Great video but my problem is slightly different, the only button that doesn't function for me is the adjust button. I have a g shock 7710. It is pretty much flat into the bezel. Any suggestions to fix this?

[@zach008900]

Hey Dan, It sounds like it might be a similar problem, have you tried opening it up and having a look at the contacts?

[@reecejuergens120]

Thanks mate!! Worked a treat 👌😁

[@meszarosp.daniel2087]

I have a vintage pro trek with jammed buttons. will try your method, fingers crossed!

[@zach008900]

Good luck!

[@sebastianzornosa9953]

Super helpful! Thanks!!

[@zach008900]

Thanks, I hope your watch is now working ;)

[@pinkidhiman8546]

Nice video but can u provide a video of fixing a casio aw-82 3768 buttons

[@zach008900]

Hey Pinki, Sorry this was just a once off, if the buttons are unresponsive then it may be the same problem.

[@GamerStrike1]

Fantastic just got my watch working again👍

[@absoleet]

I got a protrek with an unresponsive button and unfortunately the button assembly itself (inside the watch case) probably has a bent pin so the problem isn't with the spring. I think what happened was that the battery was running low for a while and so I was pressing too hard on the light button to make it light up which bent the pin so now it doesn't protrude as far as it should.

[@anthonyATteamMUROC]

Thanks heaps. Problem was exactly as you described. All fixed.

[@paolotejuco9691]

You think it is the same solution if it got under water? I replace my battery a while ago and then I went swimming after that my buttons are no longer working and the screen seem to be different. Hope you can help me

[@zach008900]

Sorry to hear your Gshock isn't working, sounds like it wasn't sealed properly and it may have water damage, maybe open it up again and have a look. I'm not a watch expert, this is the only watch i have ever fixed :)

[@oxxo1967]

hi thanks for the video DW 004 module 1659 side button start stop one in need thanks old watch i google it could not find ::(( any heads up for me?? thanks

[@SebSha0]

Thanks now my watch works again

[@zach008900]

Awesome, gald to hear this video is still helping people :)

[@G56AG]

The most common problem with the buttons is that dirt and oils get into the buttons and bind them up, I used to have a expensive Seiko digital and it would do that every 3 or 4 years. I would remove the movement and that allowed me to clean the buttons. That was a metal case and I was looking for tips on how to clean the buttons on my G Shock.

[@gutofr]

Hello.... Do you know how repair the light button. Because my light on on split button now... and I don't know why.....

[@Marlene838]

Hi @marcioportes have you found the solution for this button-feature-goes-haywire problem anyway? Just asking because my illuminator watch had recently encountered the same problem. The light function hasn't work anymore but the button still press-able for other function. Sound weird right? The mode button functions well, but for the stopwatch mode, the 'split/reset' button had suddenly changed to initial 'light' button. I wonder what triggered the functions to jumble around like that. One day when I pressed the light button, my watch suddenly beeped like crazy for a few seconds, the display went blank for a moment and when it turned on again, everything changed as if the watch resetting itself. I have to adjust all the details (time, date, etc.) all over again. But one thing for sure, the light button didn't work as intended. I realized when I set the alarm and when it beeps, the light flickers with the alarm for 20 seconds or so, and I'm sure it is not the battery issue since the display hasn't gone blurry or the light that flickers from the alarm is still bright. So confusing. And I'm still searching for a solution and answer to why that happened to my casio illuminator.

[@AntonShva]
